The memorandum deepening cooperation between Ukraine and the Eurasian Economic Commission is a victory of Ukraine, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Leonid Kozhara said.
“I think Ukraine has won a victory in its relations with the Customs
Union: we have signed a memorandum in regard to the observer status,”
Kozhara told Channel 5 on Thursday night.
The memorandum gives Kyiv access to information about Customs Unions
operations. Ukraine may consolidate its position without having the
vote, the minister said.
Negotiations with the Customs Union were absolutely transparent and
European partners were aware of the Kyiv intentions to cooperate with
that organization, he added.
Ukrainian authorities comply with the law and pursue a strategic
objective of European integration while developing broad cooperation
with the Customs Union, Kozhara concluded.
